How Long Should It Take Me To Reach Onderland?



Recommended Posts

I am newly banded. My surgery was on 3/28. Down 20 pounds so far. I had a one week pre-op diet. I am dying to lose these last 30 pounds then I will meet my short term goal of 200 pounds. Experienced bandsters, How long did it take you guys to lose 30 pounds post op? Mind you I only eat 500-800 calories daily if that and I make sure I incorporate cardio into my day every day for at least 30 minutes. Some days 60 minutes.

You can't, and should not, gauge your weight loss on others. Everyone's body is different and everyone's metabolism works differently. If you gauge off others' weight loss you're setting yourself up for pointless disappointment .

It'll come off, just be patient :)

I agree with Mis73; we are all individuals, and no two of us will have the same experiences during this weight loss journey.

There are several things which can slow your weight loss down, 2 of the key ones are 1. Not getting enough Protein every day, and 2. Not consuming enough calories daily.

My surgeon has told me to focus on the measured volume of all the foods I eat, with every meal consisting of 3 oz (by volume) lean Protein, and 2 oz (by volume) of a Fiber carbohydrate. One carb serving every day can be a "complex carb".

To use my surgeon's formula really simplifies planning my meals.

Keep up your great work, and also focus on your goals!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
